Heavenly Nutella Bombs Cooked to Perfection in the Air Fryer

Starting with a can of refrigerated biscuits, these heavenly bombs are filled with the luscious richness of Nutella, rolled into irresistible balls, and crowned with a dusting of confectioners’ sugar. Each bite promises a burst of Nutella goodness. (Discover the alternative method to bake these in the oven.)

Ingredients & Substitutions

1. Biscuits: Opt for Pillsbury Grand Biscuits (non-flaky variety). Alternatively, explore the delicious possibilities with pie crust dough, puff pastry dough (without the cinnamon), or crescent roll dough. Adjust cooking times accordingly if using a different kind of dough.
2. Nutella: The star ingredient, Nutella, is a delectable chocolate-hazelnut spread. Known for its creamy texture and rich flavor, it adds a luxurious touch to these bombs.
3. Butter: Enhance the taste by brushing the Nutella bombs with melted butter before air frying. While cooking spray is an option, butter is recommended for a superior flavor.
4. Confectioners’ Sugar: Elevate the sweetness with a sprinkle of confectioners’ sugar over the cooled Nutella bombs.

How To Store Nutella Bombs

Allow the Nutella bombs to cool completely before storing them in a single layer within an airtight container. Enjoy these treats at room temperature for 2-3 days.

Can I Freeze Air Fryer Nutella Bombs?

Certainly! To freeze Nutella bombs, arrange them on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and freeze until solid (1-2 hours). Once frozen, transfer the bombs to a freezer-safe bag for storage, preserving their deliciousness for up to 2 months.

Ingredients

• 1 can (8-count) Pillsbury Grand biscuits, not flaky layers
• 1 cup (280 g) Nutella
• 1/2 cup (1 stick / 113 g) unsalted butter, melted
• 1/4 cup (31 g) confectioners’ sugar, for dusting

Instructions

1. Remove the biscuits from the can and peel to separate each into two layers. Press each layer into a 4-inch circle. (This will yield 16 circles.)
2. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of Nutella into the center of each circle.
3. Use your fingers to fold the sides together, pinching to seal and shaping them into balls. Ensure even thickness for consistent cooking.
4. Brush the tops and bottoms of the bombs with melted butter.
5. Spray the basket of your air fryer with nonstick cooking spray.
6. Working in batches, place the bombs into the air fryer basket, ensuring they are about 2 inches apart.
7. Air fry at 330°F (165°C) for 7-8 minutes or until golden brown.
8. Remove the Nutella bombs from the air fryer and let them cool slightly.
9. Serve with a dusting of confectioners’ sugar.
